Open Call HERA Laboratory Network EU4Health

The Commission amended the 2021 EU4Health work programme, including a specific action to support a European Health Emergency preparedness and Response Authority (HERA) laboratory network.

This action aims to establish a pilot network of top-class laboratories and research institutes that have the critical expertise and capacities to provide the information needed in the shortest possible timeframe and to support HERA in identifying emergent pathogens and ensuring the availability of medical countermeasures for improved health preparedness and response.

The budget available is €25 million. The Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) will manage the programme.
